"Are you an alchemist?"

After guessing the possible identity of the other party, Qin Shaochen immediately changed his mind.

"It used to be..., or twenty years ago," the man couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Shaochen coming back, "But now, I'm just a Dannu!"

"What does Danu mean?"

"They are slaves who specialize in making elixirs for others." The man spoke with a sad voice, "Since you are interested, I will tell you about my affairs."

Then, the man sat directly on the ground and motioned for Qin Shaochen to sit opposite him.

Qin Shaochen hesitated for a moment, then followed the man's wishes and sat down on the grass.

However, he was still wary of that person, as the distance between them was more than five feet.

The man didn't take it too seriously. Seeing that Qin Shaochen was willing to stay, there was a hint of joy on his face.

"Maybe it's God's will that you come here! Maybe God sent you here because he saw how pitiful I was...!"

"If I want to escape this sad fate, I may... need your help!"

Qin Shaochen nodded calmly, without comment.

"I'd better... tell you my tragic experience first," the man sighed and began to tell about his past...

"My name is Yuan Dongxing. No one may remember this name now, but twenty years ago, the three characters Yuan Dongxing were famous in Huainan Prefecture."

"I was born into a small cultivation sect, and my master is the leader of that sect. He is also a well-known alchemist."

"My master often told me that the thing he is most proud of in his life is that becoming the leader is not because he has mastered some amazing elixirs, but because he has accepted a disciple like me who is extremely talented in alchemy."

"After master discovered my talent, he not only taught me with all his heart, but also gave me his only daughter, and publicly stated that after his death, I will be the head of that small sect."

Speaking of this, Yuan Dongxing's eyes were filled with nostalgia and memories. He paused for a while before continuing to speak.

"I have lived up to Master's expectations. When I was in my thirties, my alchemy skills far surpassed Master's, and I am famous throughout Huainan!"

"At that time, I was so high-spirited. Every day, people came to my door and begged me to make elixirs for them. In those years, there was an endless stream of people who came to me to make elixirs, including local wealthy families and large sects. Among the famous elders and so on...

"But I didn't expect that...alchemy would bring me endless glory and wealth, but it would also bring me terrible disasters and disasters."

At this time, the corners of Yuan Dongxing's eyes twitched a few times, as if he recalled something terrible, and he paused again before speaking with difficulty.

"One day, a beautiful female spiritualist came to my sect, took out three medicinal materials, and asked me to refine a beauty elixir for her."

"The Beauty Pill is a third-grade elixir. The required medicinal materials are very precious and it is extremely difficult to refine. But at that time, I was very arrogant. I knew that there was little chance of refining it, but I was greedy for that female spiritualist. Even if the sky-high price is given, it is better to accept the business.

"But, after all, I miscalculated. It took three days and three nights, and all three medicinal materials were exhausted. I... still couldn't refine the elixir after all."

"When the female spiritualist saw that I failed in refining the alchemy, she immediately turned against me and asked me to compensate for all the losses."

"The medicinal materials of the Zhuyan Pill are very expensive. If I were to compensate for the cost, I would spend all my money to pay for it. Of course I won't. I just said that it is common for the alchemy to fail. I will not charge the alchemy fee and refuse to compensate for the medicinal materials."

"The female spiritualist just sneered a few times without saying a word, but just waved her hand and imprisoned me and took me away."

"At that time, I realized that that person... was actually a real Jin Dan."

"But it's too late to regret. That real person captured me in her sect and locked me in one of her cave magic weapons."

"Then... she forced me to be her Danu and refine pills for her every day."

"Of course I refused, but... I am a Foundation Establishment Spiritualist, how can I be the opponent of a real Jin Dan. After several tortures, I quickly succumbed."

"This alchemy... took a full fifteen years."

"At the beginning, I was still thinking...whether master would come to save me."

"But as time went by, I finally gave up on that idea. The highest cultivation level of my small sect is only in the middle stage of foundation construction. How can it deal with a golden elixir monk."

"I thought that this was the end of my life. Unexpectedly, five years ago, suddenly no one came here to look for me anymore. Even the refined elixirs, no one came to pick them up."

"That's when I realized that something might have happened to that Jin Dan master."

"But, no one came, and no one brought me food. Fortunately, the last time I made elixirs, there were a lot of Bigu Pills. I lived on those elixirs, and at the same time, I used the unused herbs. , planted in the medicine garden behind the cabin.”

"Over the years, I have survived by swallowing the Bigu Pill I refined every day. Unknowingly... I have been living on my last breath for five full years."

"Seeing... I can't hold on any longer. Unexpectedly, little brother, you suddenly appeared..."

Qin Shaochen was already surprised when he heard this.

"Senior Yuan, didn't you say you were trapped in a cave magic weapon? Why are you being imprisoned here again now?"

Yuan Dongxing smiled bitterly and said: "Don't you understand yet, this is the magical treasure in the cave!"

"Is this... a magic weapon?"

Qin Shaochen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, it was simply hard to understand!

"I have lived here for twenty years, how come I don't know where this place is?"

"The inner space of this cave magic weapon is very large, almost thousands of miles in scope. Of course you won't be able to notice it in a short period of time."

"So it's... like this!"

Qin Shaochen was still a little doubtful.

After a while, he asked again.

"Senior, since no one has come to you in the past five years, don't you have a way to escape on your own?"

"You guessed it right, I really have no choice!"

Yuan Dongxing raised his hand and shook it, the chain on his hand jingled.

"You may not think that this chain is very thin. But in fact, it is a spiritual treasure-level spiritual weapon."

“If you want to break it, you have to have another Lingbao as a tool.

"But spiritual weapons at the level of spiritual treasures are so rare. Even ordinary foundation-building spiritual warriors can't do it."

Yuan Dongxing stared at the chain on his hand and kept shaking his head.

"I want to get out of here unless I amputate my hands and feet."

"But without my hands and feet, I can no longer make elixirs. What's the point of living?"

After sighing for a while, Cai Dongxing suddenly became energetic and looked at Qin Shaochen with piercing eyes.

"Little brother. The reason why I deceived you just now was not because I wanted to make money, but because I was afraid that you would reveal the news that I was here..."

"Once other people know that there is an alchemist trapped there somewhere. They will definitely try their best to control me and make me become the new Danu."

"I don't want to become someone else's slave again just after I saw a little hope of freedom."
